Nonie is the Roy E. Larsen Professor of Human Development and Education and the co-director of the Saul Zaentz Early Education Initiative at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Under her and Zaentz co-director Stephanie Jones’ leadership, the Zaentz team recently released the Zaentz Navigator, a tool that shares early education policy strategies and innovations from all 50 states and select cities. This first-of-its-kind tool better informs leaders on key approaches for positive change as they build their plans and link policy strategies and innovations to findings from a groundbreaking statewide study of early education and care. Nonie would be able to share data-driven insights on early ed and provide tangible tips for policymakers to improve the state of early education.
